THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

“What announcement could that be?” Miguel asks as we both walk into my office. I turn on the lights and walk to straight to the wine bar to take out a bottle of whiskey.

“I thought you said you were limiting your alcohol consumption” Miguel mocks.

“Just a glass Miguel!” I bark and he chuckles.

“Well, our Luna, your mate is around. You’ve already shown her a lot of bad attitudes, you wouldn’t want her add heavy drinking to that list” He says with a creased brow and I immediately put down my glass and leave the wine bar.

He has a point. As it is now, Reign knows I’m a very bad person, I wouldn’t want her to all think I’m a heavy drinker too.

Well, I do drink a lot, but I’m definitely not a heavy drinker. If at all that makes any sense.

I promised to do right by her and I’m going to do just that.

“Oh, that was easy” He remarks and I just roll my eyes. “We have indeed found your medicine. The most stubborn Alpha in history finally found his medicine. Interesting!”

“Don’t you ever take a break from pissing me off?”

“How can I take a break from my favorite thing to do? No way!”

“Tss, you are a moron.” I say as I slump on the couch and he sits on the one opposite.

“Are you going to tell me about the announcement or not?”

“Oh… yeah. Assemble every one at the field tomorrow. We are going to announce to the entire pack that Reign is my mate and Luna of the Wall Street Pack. It’s about time they knew”

“Yeah, it’s about time!” He says nodding. “Now you need to start devising strategies to win her over. I can only imagine the hatred that’s burning in her heart for you”

And he is right, Reign must hate me so much. I need to start thinking of ways to win her over.

Sweet Moon goddess, you have giving me another chance, please direct me on what to do in order to win the heart of my mate. I know I have wronged her in so many ways, but I pray you make her see that I deeply regret everything I have ever done to her, that I’m sorry and I want us to be together.

“Hardin” Miguel’s call snaps me out of my thoughts.

“Yes, Miguel”

“Did you really have to take her to your bedroom?”

“Yeah, why?” I ask curious and he nervously scratches the back of his head.NôvelDrama.Org content.

“Well, we all know that as it is now you two are not in the best of terms. She could throw a tantrum tomorrow when she wakes and finds herself on your bed”

“That would be my problem to deal with now, would it?”

“Of course it will”

“Then let me handle it. Don’t cry more than the bereaved” I quietly rise up from my chair and walk towards the door.

“Where are you going?”

“Somewhere I’ll get advice”

“Does that mean you can’t get advice from me?” He asks stubbornly.

“You can, but you can’t tell me how to tame a very stubborn and strong-willed Luna like Reign. I need another Luna like her to tell me what to do” I say and leave the office before he can utter another word.

I know it’s late, but I need to see my mother. She’s the only one who can tell me what to do right now. After all she used to be Luna and she knows just how to crack a Luna as strong willed as she is.

I walk over to my mother’s chambers with over a million thoughts swimming on my mind. Pack- related thoughts, Reign-related thoughts, family-related thoughts and many others.

Who said being an Alpha was easy?

It’s not all about wearing fine clothes, living in a fine castle and having everyone else bowing down to your every will. There’s a lot more to that.

Like having to make sure that decisions you make are not only favorable for you, but for if not all but almost every one else.

To make sure that everyone is safe and sound wherever they are, especially the women and children.

To make sure that members aren’t trying to kill each other or break rules and the list goes on.

Being an Alpha is a war.

It’s not a task any kind of man can take and one thing that I’ve always pondered upon is the criteria the Moon goddess uses to pick Alphas.

My Alpha ancestors have been great rulers, especially my father. He is my role model and I very much hope to be a great ruler like him.

Right now, if there’s something I wish for, it’s that I don’t fail my entire pack, it’s that I don’t fail my mate and Luna.

My stubborn nature has made me make a lot of horrendous decisions, but right now, I’m ready to step up and be a better person, a better son, a better brother, a better friend, a better Alpha and above all, a better mate.

I have to right all the wrongs I have committed.

I walk over to my mother’s bedroom door and give a gentle knock on it.

We all have our various chambers in this castle, but Kylie lives in my chambers. She’s only going to move into hers when has finally learned to shapeshift fully. I don’t want anyone attacking her when she’s not capable of defending herself. Here in my chambers, she has all the safety she will ever need.

The room door opens, revealing my mom who smiles instantly upon seeing me.

“Please tell me you found her”

“She ran straight into my arms mum” I say as I walk into the bedroom.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Well, she was being followed by someone and she happened to run in our direction and when she saw me, she fainted so I brought her home”

“Is she in her bedroom?”

“Nope, she’s mine” I replied and looked at me shocked, eyes wide open and eyebrows furrowed.

“Why do you all get shocked when I say this?” I am frustrated.

“Maybe it’s because it’s… weird”

“It’s weird to have my mate sleeping in my bedroom?”

“Given the situation you two are currently in right now”

“Mum, as it is now, I’m already scared, please stop scaring me the more”

“Scared? Of what exactly?”

“Reign hates me mum. I’m scared that she might never forgive me, I’m scared that she might reject me just like I did her on her birthday. Mum I would die if she rejects me. I can’t live without her”

“Look here son. The moon goddess is not foolish. Did you think it was by chance that Reign ran into your arms in those woods? I don’t think so. This is another chance the moon goddess has given to you, it’s not going to be easy, but there’s alright light at the end of the tunnel. All you have to do is push on, never get tired of showing her how much you love her. Mind you, Reign is a stubborn girl, a very hard nut to crack, but she’ll come around, because that is the will of the Moon goddess and if the Moon goddess wants something to be, that thing will be no matter what. So chill and strategize on how to win your Luna over. You’ve got this son” She encourages and I immediately crash into her arms.

I knew she was going to say things that would make me feel better.

Right now, I’m encouraged and motivated to win Reign over. Like mother just said, it’s not going to be easy, but it’s not impossible either. I can do this.

I am going to win my Luna over and we are going to rule like the king and queen we are.

“I love you mum”

“I love you more Hardin”
